Course description

If you love to shop and provide a service that delights people every day, working with others
in a fast moving commercial environment with amazing career opportunities, then a job in retail could be just the thing.

As a leading Apprenticeship provider, we have some fantastic opportunities available NOW across the country for young people to work in various roles including retail sales
assistant, customer service representative, merchandiser and assistant store manager.

Apprenticeships are full time jobs with training towards industry recognised vocational qualifications so you will learn how to do the job as you actually do it. You will
be employed from day one and receive a real wage, so there's no need to get into debt by going to college because you are getting paid to study.

Apprenticeship features

Apprenticeships areavailable at Intermediate and Advanced levels depending on your age and ability, and include an NVQ certificate or diploma in retail, as well as essential
qualifications in maths and English to support your ongoing development. You will be guided by our professional assessors every step of the way who provide one-to-one support and guidance throughout your Apprenticeship.

What skills will I learn?

What you study will vary depending on your job role and responsibilities, for example if you are working in a front of house role it will require a focus on customer service
and admin skills. Here are some typical examples:

Managing customer relationships

Receiving and storing goods

Processing customer orders and returns

Preparing goods and produce for sale

Displaying and merchandising stock

Helping customers to make purchases

Where can it lead?

With an Apprenticeship you can progress onto advanced, higher or even degree level training. As you move up you gain more experience and responsibility and many people
naturally become team leaders and managers.
